KJZZ: Some Pima County residents will receive mail-in ballots late this month due to mapping error
Alisa Reznick of KJZZ reports that residents of Pima County will receive their mail in ballots late due to a clerical issue.
Election officials in Pima County say some county residents will receive their mail-in ballots a few days late this year amid a clerical issue with the county’s election department.
Pima County residents on the Active Early Voting List began receiving ballots starting Oct. 9, according to the Pima County Recorder’s Office.
The process normally takes about two days, but it’s slowed down this year because of an issue at the Election Department earlier this month.
Pima County Communications Director Mark Evans says that’s when a mapping error placed about 500 voters in adjacent districts were placed into the incorrect one.
“Voters were in, they were in the right taxing district, but they were in the wrong voting district,” he said. “It didn’t necessarily change their registration, it just made sure that the ballot they got was correct.”
